Former NFL safety Donovin Darius was arrested Sunday and charged with driving under the influence, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
The 44-year-old crashed his car before telling rescue workers he ingested 20-30 pills and was suicidal, causing them to bring him immediately to a hospital. Jacksonville police found two pill bottles in his car.
Though he was absentee booked into jail, he can remain in the hospital for up to 72 hours for evaluation.
Darius was charged with a misdemeanor DUI, but police were unable to conduct a field sobriety test because he was unable to stand on his own.
